Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said yesterday he has a broken left collarbone and
has no idea how long he will be out.

Rodgers, the 2011 NFL MVP, offered details of the injury on his weekly radio show. He was
injured after getting sacked by Shea McClellin on a third-down play during the Packers’ first
series on Monday against the Chicago Bears while he was scrambling outside the pocket.

“I do have a fractured collarbone. That’s a significant injury,” said Rodgers, who throws
right-handed. “We’ll know more about the severity and the timetable later this week.”

Rodgers said he was holding out hope he would heal quickly.

“In this case, it was considerably more pain than I’ve felt in a long time,” he added.

Rodgers entered the game having completed 67 percent of his 249 pass attempts for 2,191 yards
and a 108.0 quarterback rating. He has 15 touchdown passes and four interceptions.

Meanwhile, Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is done for the season after the team placed him
on injured reserve. Finley had to be carried off on a stretcher after suffering a bruised spinal
cord while being tackled on Oct. 20 against the Cleveland Browns.

Full recovery expected for Texans coach

Texans coach Gary Kubiak was released from a Houston hospital after suffering what the team said
was a mini-stroke during a loss Sunday to Indianapolis.

The team said Kubiak, 52, suffered a transient ischemic attack at halftime. He is expected to
make a full recovery, but the Texans said they aren’t sure when he will resume his coaching
duties.

“I’ve been through an ordeal and my focus now is to get back to good health,” Kubiak said in a
statement released by the team. “Doctors have told me I will make a full recovery.”

Kubiak collapsed on the field and was rushed to a hospital. The Texans blew an 18-point lead
without him, and the 27-24 loss was the team’s sixth straight.

A transient ischemic attack, or TIA, occurs when blood flow to the brain is briefly interrupted,
typically by a blood clot or narrowed blood vessels. TIAs are often called mini-strokes and can
cause stroke-like symptoms, including sudden dizziness, numbness, vision loss or unconsciousness,
though symptoms last only a few minutes or a few hours and no permanent brain damage occurs. TIAs
are often a warning sign for a future stroke.

The team didn’t name an interim coach as the Texans prepare for a game Sunday at Arizona.
Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, a former coach for Dallas, took over after Kubiak was taken to
the hospital, and he ran Houston’s practice on Monday.

The Texans will need to figure out who’s calling the plays on offense because that was done by
Kubiak.

Browns’ Campbell is back at practice

Quarterback Jason Campbell practiced despite suffering from bruised ribs and will be ready to
play against the Bengals on Nov. 17th after a bye this week.

“f we had a game Sunday, I’d definitely go out there and play,” Campbell said.

Campbell, who was injured Sunday in a 24-18 victory over Baltimore, was relieved Monday to
discover that his ribs were only bruised and not broken, even though he had a strong sense they
weren’t cracked. He said the bye came at a good time not only for him but for the entire team.

Bengals add defensive tackle

The Bengals have signed defensive tackle Kheeston Randall to fill the roster spot of All-Pro
Geno Atkins, who is out for the season because of a torn knee ligament. Randall was the Dolphins’
seventh-round pick last year and played in 12 games. He was waived by Miami on Aug. 31.

Notable

Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said right tackle Phil Loadholt will miss a game Thursday
against Washington because of a concussion. Loadholt has not missed a game since his rookie season
of 2009.
